Lightning Games: Recent Episodes
Zane McSheehy
This is my multimodal piece for Assignment 3a of my English 250 class for my 2023 semester at Iowa State University.
Theatre as an art form is very important to me, and because I would like to continue doing these live performances for the forseeable future, I believed it was appropriate to inform people as to why theatre is NOT a "dying artform."

American Psycho has had a real resurgence in pop culture recently, with the movie and book's main character, Patrick Bateman, being the subject of many memes and other pop culture references. You may have seen the movie, I have too. So, I decided to give the book a read. I have heard that the book is even more gruesome than the movie, so I will be sure to give appropriate content warnings at the beginning of each episode.
DISCLAIMER: My reading of this book should in no way be a substitution for the published book or the movie. American Psycho is a cult-classic novel that still has some controversy regarding the content within it and should be experienced firsthand to truly enjoy it. American Psycho can be purchased at a few different retailers or obtained via e-books online as well.

In this special for the holidays, I felt like I wanted to read two classic Christmas stories to celebrate the season before I freeze my appendages off, enjoy.
"Twas The Night Before Christmas," originally published in the Troy Sentinel on December 23rd, 1823, written by Clement Clarke Moore.
The Polar Express, written by Chris Van Allsburg, published in 1985 by Houghton Mifflin.

For my English 150 Class, I was tasked with reusing one of our previous assignments to create a multimodal form representing said assignment. I choose to use my already-established podcast to do so. In this episode, I read and tack my own information and opinions onto my Assignment 1, Personal Narrative.
